PREVENTING COMPLICATIONS
By managing the ABCs of diabetes, people with diabetes can reduce their risk of complications.
A stands for A1C (a measure of average blood glucose)
B stands for Blood pressure
C stands for Cholesterol

ASK ABOUT YOUR A1C
• A1C measures average blood glucose over the last three months.
• Get your A1C checked at least twice a year.
• Talk to your health care team about what A1C goal is right for you.
The goal for most people with diabetes is an A1C of less than 7%, which is an estimated
Average Glucose (eAG) of 154mg/dl

eAG - Another Way to Report A1C
• Estimated Average Glucose, eAG, converts A1C into an average glucose value
• eAG is reported in mg/dl, the same units used in glucose meters
• An A1C of 7% translates into an eAG of 154 mg/dl

CHECK YOUR CHOLESTEROL
Several kinds of blood fats:

Weight Loss Surgery Is About More Than Weight
A 50-year old with a BMI of more than 40 has the same mortality rate as a cancer patient.
Minimally invasive weight loss surgery can improve and even resolve Type 2 Diabetes.
Research reported in the Archives of Surgery shows that family members of patients having laparoscpic gastric bypass show a tendency to lose weight, eat better and exercise more.
Ask a Health Travel Guide!
“We probably do only 1% of the gastric bypass surgeries we should do."
